Dear Experts, From 1/1/2017 ESI ceiling limit has been extend from 15000 to 21000, My query is suppose Mr. X gross salary is 20000 PM and his employer have deducted total 6.5% ESI i.e. 4.75% employer contribution and 1.75% employee contribution. Pls clarify weather this 6.5% contributions shall be added in his income for the chargability of income tax or not?

The Employer can not deduct more than 1.75% from salary. The Employee's contribution deducted is already included in his salary. Employer's contribution is not to be included in salary for Income Tax Computation

No deduction is allowable for ESI contribution in Income Tax. The Gross salary for IT purpose would be 2,40,000.00
